Amid a controversy over laboratory test reports on milk, the High Court yesterday directed Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution to test pasteurised milk, produced by 14 companies, at four laboratories within a week. All these Companies are registered with the BSTI. The four institutions where the tests will be conducted are — Institute of Public Health, Bangladesh; International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b); Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute and Bangladesh Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. There has been a controversy since a team of Dhaka University researchers and the BSTI gave conflicting test reports on milk last month. In its test, the DU team found detergent and antibiotics in samples of packaged milk available in kitchen markets. But the BSTI said it didn’t find any harmful substances in the milk samples it tested.

Researchers have found cultivation of two relatively shorter duration rice varieties and the use of water-saving technology yield higher income to farmers and affect the climate less. They conducted an experiment in two upazilas of Chattogram, where farmers got three crops — two rice and a mustard — in a year by growing early-maturing rice instead of two rice crops. This increased farmers’ income by 45 percent to Tk 108,317 per hectare. Furthermore, plantation of the short-duration rice crops cut greenhouse gas emission, minimising the impact on climate. “Farmers are benefited,” Md Rafiqul Islam, principal scientific officer and head of Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI), said at a workshop on promotion of climate-smart practices and varieties for intensive rice-based system in Bangladesh.
